... Kristin Crowley is an American firefighter, who served as the chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD). She served in the position from 2022 to 2025.
Career
Crowley passed the firefighters' exam in 1998, finishing in the top 50 out of more than 16,000 tests taken. She joined the LAFD in 2000. During her time at the department, she has held the roles of firefighter, paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain, battalion chief, assistant chief, fire marshal and deputy chief. Crowley became Los Angeles' first female fire marshal in 2016.
Crowley was named fire chief in 2022, replacing Ralph Terrazas, who had assumed the role in 2014. Upon her appointment, Crowley noted that in addition to "maintaining firefighters' safety, health and overall well-being", she planned to promote a "work environment that is free of harassment, discrimination and hazing". As chief, Crowley encouraged programs that increase diversity in the department, saying that a diverse department is needed to serve a diverse city.
In 2023, she was appointed to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, the second fire chief to serve in that role. In June 2024, Crowley was a grand marshal at Los Angeles Pride. She oversaw the department's response to the January 2025 Southern California wildfires.
On February 21, 2025, Mayor Karen Bass fired Crowley as Chief, claiming that Crowley had left the department unprepared in advance of the outbreak of the Palisades Fire. Bass was in Ghana during the fires, something she linked to Crowley failing to warn her of the fire danger, although Crowley has pushed back on this. The decision to fire Crowley was criticized by many, including philanthropist and former mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, who alongside various media outlets linked the firing to Crowley speaking out about fire department budget cuts.
Personal life
Crowley is a lesbian, married, and the mother of three children.
